2. The selection of backend options

What is a backend system?

The ICU Eve Mini communicates with various online management platforms, also referred to as a backend system, via a mobile data connection or LAN. With the right backend system, you can use a very diverse range of management options.

Why do I need a backend system?

If you want to use a billing solution to have electricity costs reimbursed by your employer, bill for employee parking spaces or provide a fee-based charging option to the general public, then you need the right backend system for your charging station. So, when ordering a charging station, choose the right system for your needs.

The Mobility House offers four backend systems:

Billing Service @home (so that as a company car driver, you can have electricity costs automatically reimbursed by your employer)

Billing Service @work (so that as a company, you can bill your employees for electricity used for charging electric cars for personal use)

Billing Service @public (so you can provide a public, fee-based charging option for other electric car drivers, and earn money in the process)

ICU EZ (so you can manage user and charging data without additional services, backend of ICU; only available in English and Dutch)

Please note that an ICU charging station with RFID function can only be ordered with a backend, as otherwise you will not be able to charge it. Even if you do not wish to use a billing service, you need a backend in which, as a minimum, you can release RFID cards for charging at your charging station.

The use of your own backend systems is basically possible, but must be coordinated with us before ordering.

Charge your electric car with 3,7 kW of charging power and maximum safety.

With the ICU Eve Mini wallbox you can charge your electric car with 3,7 kW of power up to 1,5 times faster than on a standard household socket. In our charging times overview you can find out how much faster you can charge your electric car and so save time.

Load management means always charging with optimum power.

Many charging stations reach their limits when you want to charge a number of electric cars at the same time. Limited connection capacity means the fuse blows or, in the worst case scenario, the power cable overheats. Not with the ICU Eve Mini. An appropriate load management system means the charging power can be continuously adjusted and ensures that your electric car is always charged with optimum power. Just give us a call or send us an e-mail. We will be happy to give you advice and to work with you to find the right solution for your needs.

How does the RFID blocking function work?

The RFID blocking function means you can make sure that the only electric car drivers who use the charging facility are the ones who ought to. They connect their electric car using the charging cable, but the power does not flow until they enable the charging station with the RFID charging card. This charging station with the RFID function is sought after precisely in those areas which are open to the public. Additional RFID cards can be enabled via the chosen backend system.

The following must be taken into account when installing the ICU Eve Mini:

The ICU Eve Mini comes with a DC fault current sensor as standard. This saves you money on an expensive B-type RCD in domestic installation, as only a cost-effective RCD type A is required. In addition, installation, assembly and maintenance work must only be carried out by a qualified electrician who knows the standards and installation regulations and is fully responsible for the installation. Here we have summarised everything you need to take into account when installing a charging station.
